The linewidth of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) (65 MHz), the tunability of their lasing wavelength (20 AA), and the tunability of the heterodyne beat frequency (65 MHz to 150 GHz) were measured by varying the drive current to the lasers. The ability to control the output wavelength of VCSELs by current and location on the wafer makes it possible to extrapolate tunability over a range from 65 MHz to 3 THz. While the spatial tunability of 3 THz is of interest for wavelength-division multiplexing schemes, the current tunability of 150 GHz is attractive for frequency control and stabilization. The observation of narrow VCSEL linewidths is encouraging for their potential applications in communications. >","PeriodicalId":269691,"journal":{"name":"[1991] 49th Annual Device Research Conference Digest","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117160861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, current-induced degradation in the form of V/sub BE/ shifts has been reported when the heterojunction is stressed under high-level forward current injection. Although the V/sub BE/ shift is an indication of device parameter change, the degradation mechanisms cannot be readily identified. An approach is presented that uncovers the device degradation mechanisms by measuring the inverted mode I/sub C/ at room temperature and the forward mode I/sub B/ at low temperature. The correlation between the change in the inverted I/sub C/ and an anomalous component (tunneling current) of I/sub B/ is observed and attributed to beryllium interstitial diffusion into substitutional sites. >","PeriodicalId":269691,"journal":{"name":"[1991] 49th Annual Device Research Conference Digest","volume":"17 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132748102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Heterostructures provide so many design parameters that it is impractical to adequately explore the design space empirically. The ability to evaluate the effects of changes to any design parameter rapidly is needed. A program, BandProf, that implements a one-dimensional, zero-current model to determine the self-consistent electrostatic potential and thus the energy-band profile is discussed. Realistic physical models are employed, including multiple-band extrema and full impurity statistics. This approach to device simulation, demanding results in a few seconds for structures of arbitrary design, requires that elegant and robust techniques be applied to every task performed by the program. Two such innovations embodied in BandProf are described. >","PeriodicalId":269691,"journal":{"name":"[1991] 49th Annual Device Research Conference Digest","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114792746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A description is given of a device which consists of an input rib waveguide, a vertically defined coupler, a vertically coupled mesa p-i-n photodiode (PD), a second coupler, and a second PD, all serially connected.

The most important conclusion of these studies is that the K-factors in the MQW and strained MQW lasers are reduced as the optical confinement factor is increased. This mainly results from the increase in the differential gain.
